End clip from 'Do the Right Thing' directed by Spike Lee
lyrics
Oh, no, non-believer
Oh, no, non-believer
Don’t you fray and don’t you cry
You know in your heart you were Born to Die
And she said ‘you won’t break these chains’
So I took initiative; escaped
Escaped out the Viper’s jaws
And I smoked a little weed just to spite the law
Despite them all saying stop pushing me back
‘Calm down put your bars down’ couldn’t relax
What they was telling me wasn’t good and in fact
It was bad, very bad, I would’ve been very sad
If I’d agreed but no more, no more
Couldn’t say it Before but now I am so sure
So sure that I’m doing the best I can
Even when I’m high I’m being the best I am
Yeah, just being the best I am
I think right now I’m seeing the best I can
And if not, I will learn to in time
Tour my being and inner demons with rhymes
I want the freedom to learn fail
And if I’m ever bleeding I’ll learn to heal
Smoke a little weed it’s my church, my grail
Homie, I never lie what do my verses tell
They tell a story; never boring
Push my pushy parents back they won’t get it for me
Nope… they’ll never ever get it for me
So Imma take the stand Imma get the glory
Yeah my goal is gross but I’m facing it
Have faith in myself though an atheist
Ya’ll know I won’t stay the same
‘cause I’m gunning for glory Imma break these chains
Imma break these chains
Imma break these chains
Ya’ll know I won’t stay the same
‘cause I’m gunning for glory Imma break these chains
This is for my sisters and my
Brothers fighting hard for something they love
What they’ve been telling you is an enormous lie.
I’ll tell you what, homie. I’ll tell you one thing…
You were Born to Die… and they sing it like this…
Oh, no, non-believer
Oh, no, non-believer
Don’t you fray and don’t you cry
You know in your heart you were Born to Die
I wanted to make a little speech at the end of this
But in the end there’s silence…
So just fuck wit’ it
And C H I L L
This is for my sisters and my
Brothers fighting hard for something they love
